Troy: An Empire in Siege #1

Gary Reed

Summary

The epic saga from Homer has influenced literature since the day it was discovered. Presented here is a re-telling of the classic epic from the human perspective, rather than from that of the Greek Gods. Covered within these pages are the events that led to the extraordinary Trojan War. Her name was Helen, her beauty was renowned throughout the world. "The face that launched a thousand ships". In this struggle, great heroes, both in glory and in weakness, grapple in a conflict that raged for ten years. As Paris is visiting the Greeks, he becomes smitten with Menelaus’ wife, Helen. Taking her to Troy, the Greeks see this as a reason to initiate war against their greatest trading rivals. The Kings of Greece get ready to embark, although most of them reluctantly, and Cassandra, sitting in the fortress of Troy warns that the war will bring disaster but she is cursed that no one will believe her prophecy. Part 1 of 4.

Go Fish - How to Win Contempt...

Mr. Fish

“Go Fish is that rarest of creatures: an essential collection of political cartoons.” —David Rees, author of Get Your War On   This volume of cartoons from the revered Mr. Fish (aka Dwayne Booth) spans politics, popular culture, economic disaster, and much more, and nobody—right, left, or middle—is safe from his razor-edged satire. Included are cartoons never previously published as well as original essays by Mr. Fish, whose work has appeared in such venues as Harper’s Magazine, Truthdig, the Los Angeles Times, TheAtlantic, and Vanity Fair.   “Fish’s work makes you want to do something—even if you’re not entirely sure what that something is—to change things for the better, and the feeling stays with you long after the book is closed.” —Verbicide Magazine   “A vibrant example of political cartooning as it is practiced at its heights. . . . Anyone who thinks political cartooning is stale need only take a closer look at this body of work. . . . Certifiably brilliant.” —Los Angeles Review of Books
